PRIORITY CLAIM AND CROSS-REFERENCE

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/982,250, filed on Feb. 27, 2020, which application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

The semiconductor industry has experienced rapid growth due to ongoing improvements in the integration density of a variety of electronic components (e.g., transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc.). For the most part, improvement in integration density has resulted from iterative reduction of minimum feature size, which allows more components to be integrated into a given area. As the demand for shrinking electronic devices has grown, a need for smaller and more creative packaging techniques of semiconductor dies has emerged. An example of such packaging systems is Package-on-Package (PoP) technology. In a PoP device, a top semiconductor package is stacked on top of a bottom semiconductor package to provide a high level of integration and component density. PoP technology generally enables production of semiconductor devices with enhanced functionalities and small footprints on a printed circuit board (PCB).

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the invention. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature in the description that follows may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. In addition, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.

Further, spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures.

FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-sectional view of an integrated circuit die 10 in accordance with some embodiments. The integrated circuit die 10 will be packaged in subsequent processing to form an integrated circuit package. The integrated circuit die 10 may be a logic die (e.g., central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), system-on-a-chip (SoC), application processor (AP), microcontroller, etc.), a memory die (e.g., dynamic random access memory (DRAM) die, static random access memory (SRAM) die, etc.), a power management die (e.g., power management integrated circuit (PMIC) die), a radio frequency (RF) die, a sensor die, a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) die, a signal processing die (e.g., digital signal processing (DSP) die), a front-end die (e.g., analog front-end (AFE) dies), the like, or combinations thereof.

The integrated circuit die 10 may be formed in a wafer, which may include different device regions that are singulated in subsequent steps to form a plurality of integrated circuit dies. The integrated circuit die 10 may be processed according to applicable manufacturing processes to form integrated circuits. For example, the integrated circuit die 10 includes a substrate 52, such as silicon, doped or undoped, or an active layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The substrate 52 may include other semiconductor materials, such as germanium; a compound semiconductor including silicon carbide, gallium arsenic, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, and/or indium antimonide; an alloy semiconductor including SiGe, GaAsP, AlInAs, AlGaAs, GaInAs, GaInP, and/or GaInAsP; or combinations thereof. Other substrates, such as multi-layered or gradient substrates, may also be used. The substrate 52 has an active surface (e.g., the surface facing upwards in FIG. 1), sometimes called a front side, and an inactive surface (e.g., the surface facing downwards in FIG. 1), sometimes called a backside.

Devices (represented by a transistor) 54 may be formed at the front surface of the substrate 52. The devices 54 may be active devices (e.g., transistors, diodes, etc.), capacitors, resistors, inductors, the like, or combinations thereof. An inter-layer dielectric (ILD) 56 is over the front surface of the substrate 52. The ILD 56 surrounds and may cover the devices 54. The ILD 56 may include one or more dielectric layers formed of materials such as Phospho-Silicate Glass (PSG), Boro-Silicate Glass (BSG), Boron-Doped Phospho-Silicate Glass (BPSG), undoped Silicate Glass (USG), or the like, and may be formed using spin coating, lamination, atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or the like.

Conductive plugs 58 extend through the ILD 56 to electrically and physically couple the devices 54. For example, when the devices 54 are transistors, the conductive plugs 58 may couple the gates and source/drain regions of the transistors. The conductive plugs 58 may be formed of tungsten, cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, gold, aluminum, the like, or combinations thereof. An interconnect structure 60 is over the ILD 56 and the conductive plugs 58. The interconnect structure 60 interconnects the devices 54 to form an integrated circuit. The interconnect structure 60 may be formed by, for example, metallization patterns in dielectric layers on the ILD 56. The metallization patterns include metal lines and vias formed in one or more low-k dielectric layers. In some embodiments, the interconnect structure 60 may be formed of alternating layers of dielectric (e.g., low-k dielectric material) and conductive (e.g., copper) materials with vias interconnecting the layers of the conductive material and may be formed through any suitable process (such as deposition, damascene, dual damascene, or the like). The metallization patterns of the interconnect structure 60 are electrically coupled to the devices 54 by the conductive plugs 58.

The integrated circuit die 10 further includes pads 62, such as aluminum pads, to which external connections are made. The pads 62 are on the active side of the integrated circuit die 10, such as in and/or on the interconnect structure 60. An insulating layer 64 is on the integrated circuit die 10, such that the pads 62 are embedded in the insulating layer 64. The insulating layer 64 may also be referred to as a passivation layer. In some embodiments, the insulating layer 64 may comprise one or more layers of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, the like, or combinations thereof, and may be formed using ALD, CVD, or the like. In some embodiments, the pads 62 and the insulating layer 64 may be formed by forming and patterning a conductive material over the interconnect structure 60 to form the pads 62, forming an insulating material of the insulating layer 64 over the interconnect structure 60 and the pads 62, and planarizing the insulating material to expose the pads 62.

In other embodiments, the pads 62 and the insulating layer 64 may be formed by forming an insulating material of the insulating layer 64 over the interconnect structure 60, patterning the insulating material to form openings for the pads 62, depositing a conductive material of the pads 62 in the openings, and planarizing the conductive material to remove portions of the conductive material overfilling the openings. Portions of the conductive material remaining in the openings form pads 62. In some embodiments, the planarization process may comprise a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), grinding, etching, a combination thereof, or the like. In some embodiments, a top surface of the insulating layer 64 and top surfaces of the pads 62 are substantially level or substantially coplanar within process variations of the planarization process.

In some embodiments, a chip probe (CP) testing is performed on the integrated circuit die 10. The CP testing may be performed on the integrated circuit die 10 to ascertain whether the integrated circuit die 10 is a known good die (KGD). Thus, only integrated circuit dies 10, which are KGDs, undergo subsequent processing and are packaged, and dies, which fail the CP testing, are not packaged.

In some embodiments, the integrated circuit die 10 is a stacked device that includes multiple substrates 52. For example, the integrated circuit die 10 may be a memory device such as a hybrid memory cube (HMC) module, a high bandwidth memory (HBM) module, or the like that includes multiple memory dies. In such embodiments, the integrated circuit die 10 includes multiple substrates 52 interconnected by through-substrate vias (TSVs) (not shown). Each of the substrates 52 may (or may not) have an interconnect structure 60.

Under-bump metallizations (UBMs) 68 extend through the openings in the insulating layer 64 and are physically and electrically coupled to respective ones of the pads 62. The UBMs 68 may be formed of one or more suitable conductive materials.

After forming the UBMs 68, conductive connectors 70 are formed on the UBMs 68. The conductive connectors 70 may be ball grid array (BGA) connectors, solder balls, metal pillars, controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bumps, micro bumps, electroless nickel-electroless palladium-immersion gold technique (ENEPIG) formed bumps, or the like.

In some embodiments, the conductive connectors 70 are formed by initially forming a layer of solder through evaporation, electroplating, printing, solder transfer, ball placement, or the like. Once a layer of solder has been formed on the structure, a reflow may be performed in order to shape the material into the desired bump shapes. In another embodiment, the conductive connectors 70 comprise metal pillars (such as a copper pillar) formed by a sputtering, printing, electro plating, electroless plating, CVD, or the like. The metal pillars may be solder free and have substantially vertical sidewalls. In some embodiments, a metal cap layer is formed on the top of the metal pillars. The metal cap layer may include nickel, tin, tin-lead, gold, silver, palladium, indium, nickel-palladium-gold, nickel-gold, the like, or a combination thereof and may be formed by a plating process.

A photoresist is formed and patterned on the seed layer. The photoresist may be formed by spin coating or the like and may be exposed to light for patterning. The pattern of the photoresist corresponds to conductive vias. The patterning forms openings through the photoresist to expose the seed layer. A conductive material is formed in the openings of the photoresist and on the exposed portions of the seed layer.

The encapsulant 310 may be applied in liquid or semi-liquid form and then subsequently cured.

In FIG. 13, a planarization process is performed on the encapsulant 310 to expose the through vias 308. The planarization process may also remove portions of the through vias 308. In the illustrated embodiment, the backside surfaces of the integrated circuit dies 10A and 10B are covered by the encapsulant 310 after performing the planarization process. In other embodiments, the backside surfaces of the integrated circuit dies 10A and 10B are exposed after performing the planarization process. A top surface of the encapsulant 310 and top surfaces of the through vias 308 are substantially coplanar within process variations of the planarization process. The planarization process may comprise CMP, grinding, etching, a combination thereof, or the like. In some embodiments, the planarization may be omitted, for example, if the through vias 308 are already exposed.

In FIG. 14, a redistribution structure 312 is formed over the encapsulant 310, the integrated circuit dies 10A and 10B, and the through vias 308. The redistribution structure 312 includes insulating layers 314, 318, 322, and 326; and metallization patterns 316, 320, and 324. The metallization patterns may also be referred to as redistribution layers or redistribution lines. The redistribution structure 312 is shown as an example having three layers of metallization patterns. More or fewer insulating layers and metallization patterns may be formed in the redistribution structure 312. If fewer insulating layers and metallization patterns are to be formed, steps and process discussed below may be omitted. If more insulating layers and metallization patterns are to be formed, steps and processes discussed below may be repeated.

In some embodiments, the insulating layer 314 is deposited on the encapsulant 120, the integrated circuit die 10A and 10B, and the through vias 308. In some embodiments, the insulating layer 314 is formed of a photo-sensitive material, such as polybenzoxazole (PBO), polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), or the like, which may be patterned using a lithography mask. The insulating layer 314 may be formed by spin coating, lamination, CVD, the like, or a combination thereof. In other embodiments, the insulating layer 314 may comprise non-photo-sensitive materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or the like, and may be formed by ALD, CVD, the like, or a combination thereof. The insulating layer 314 is then patterned. The patterning forms openings in the insulating layer 314 exposing portions of the through vias 308. The patterning may be by an acceptable process, such as by exposing and developing the insulating layer 314 to light when the insulating layer 314 is a photo-sensitive material or by etching using, for example, an anisotropic etch when the insulating layer 314 is a non-photo-sensitive material.

The metallization pattern 316 is then formed. The metallization pattern 316 includes conductive elements extending along the major surface of the insulating layer 314 and extending through the insulating layer 314 to physically and electrically couple to the through vias 308. As an example to form the metallization pattern 316, a seed layer is formed over the insulating layer 314 and in the openings extending through the insulating layer 314. In some embodiments, the seed layer is a metal layer, which may be a single layer or a composite layer comprising a plurality of sub-layers formed of different materials. In some embodiments, the seed layer comprises a titanium layer and a copper layer over the titanium layer. The seed layer may be formed using, for example, PVD or the like. A photoresist is then formed and patterned on the seed layer. The photoresist may be formed by spin coating or the like and may be exposed to light for patterning. The pattern of the photoresist corresponds to the metallization pattern 316. The patterning forms openings through the photoresist to expose the seed layer. A conductive material is then formed in the openings of the photoresist and on the exposed portions of the seed layer. The conductive material may be formed by plating, such as electroplating, electroless plating, or the like. The conductive material may comprise a metal, such as copper, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, or the like. The combination of the conductive material and underlying portions of the seed layer form the metallization pattern 316. The photoresist and portions of the seed layer on which the conductive material is not formed are removed. The photoresist may be removed by an acceptable ashing or stripping process, such as using an oxygen plasma or the like. Once the photoresist is removed, exposed portions of the seed layer are removed, such as by using an acceptable etching process, such as by wet or dry etching.

After forming the metallization pattern 316, the insulating layer 318 is deposited on the metallization pattern 316 and the insulating layer 314. The insulating layer 318 may be formed using similar material and methods as the insulating layer 314.

The metallization pattern 320 is then formed. The metallization pattern 320 includes portions on and extending along the major surface of the insulating layer 318. The metallization pattern 320 further includes portions extending through the insulating layer 318 to physically and electrically couple to the metallization pattern 316. The metallization pattern 320 may be formed using similar materials and methods as the metallization pattern 316. In some embodiments, the metallization pattern 320 has a different size than the metallization pattern 316. For example, the conductive lines and/or vias of the metallization pattern 320 may be wider or thicker than the conductive lines and/or vias of the metallization pattern 316. Further, the metallization pattern 320 may be formed to a greater pitch than the metallization pattern 316.

After forming the metallization pattern 320, the insulating layer 322 is deposited on the metallization pattern 320 and the insulating layer 318. The insulating layer 322 may be formed using similar materials and methods as the insulating layer 314.

The metallization pattern 324 is then formed. The metallization pattern 324 includes portions on and extending along the major surface of the insulating layer 322. The metallization pattern 324 further includes portions extending through the insulating layer 322 to physically and electrically couple to the metallization pattern 320. The metallization pattern 324 may be formed using similar materials and methods as the metallization pattern 316. The metallization pattern 324 is the topmost metallization pattern of the redistribution structure 312. As such, all of the intermediate metallization patterns of the redistribution structure 312 (e.g., the metallization patterns 316 and 320) are disposed between the metallization pattern 324 and the encapsulant 310. In some embodiments, the metallization pattern 324 has a different size than the metallization patterns 316 and 320. For example, the conductive lines and/or vias of the metallization pattern 324 may be wider or thicker than the conductive lines and/or vias of the metallization patterns 316 and 320. Further, the metallization pattern 324 may be formed to a greater pitch than the metallization pattern 316 and 320.

After forming the metallization pattern 324, the insulating layer 326 is deposited on the metallization pattern 324 and insulating layer 322. The insulating layer 326 may be formed using similar materials and methods as insulating layer 314. The insulating layer 326 is the topmost insulating layer of the redistribution structure 312. As such, all of the metallization patterns of the redistribution structure 312 (e.g., the metallization patterns 316, 320, and 324) are disposed between the insulating layer 326 and the encapsulant 310. Further, all of the intermediate insulating layers of the redistribution structure 312 (e.g., the insulating layers 314, 318, 322) are disposed between the insulating layer 326 and the encapsulant 310.

Further in FIG. 14, after forming redistribution structure 312, UBMs 328 are formed for external connection to the redistribution structure 312. The UBMs 328 have bump portions on and extending along the major surface of the insulating layer 326, and have via portions extending through the insulating layer 326 to physically and electrically couple to the metallization pattern 324. As a result, the UBMs 328 are electrically coupled to the through vias 308 and the integrated circuit dies 10A and 10B thought the redistribution structure 312. The UBMs 328 may be formed of the same material as the metallization pattern 324. In some embodiments, the UBMs 328 has a different size than the metallization patterns 316, 320, and 324.

After forming the UBMs 328, conductive connectors 330 are formed on the UBMs 328. The conductive connectors 330 may be ball grid array (BGA) connectors, solder balls, metal pillars, controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bumps, micro bumps, electroless nickel-electroless palladium-immersion gold technique (ENEPIG) formed bumps, or the like. The conductive connectors 330 may be formed using similar materials and methods as the conductive connectors 70 described above with reference to FIG. 3 and the description is not repeated herein.

In FIG. 15, the stacked wafer-level structure of FIG. 14 is flipped and is attached to a carrier substrate 332 using an adhesive 334. The carrier substrate 332 may be a glass carrier substrate, a ceramic carrier substrate, or the like. Subsequently, a thinning process is performed on the backside of the substrate 202 of the wafer 200. In some embodiments, the thinning process comprises CMP, grinding, etching, a combination thereof, or the like. The thinning process removes a portion of the substrate 202 and reduces a distance between the backside surface of the substrate 202 and the photosensitive pixels 218.

In FIG. 16, color filters 336 are formed over the backside surface of the substrate 202 of the wafer 200. In some embodiments, the color filters 336 are aligned with the photosensitive pixels 218. The color filters 336 may be used to allow specific wavelengths of light to pass while reflecting other wavelengths, thereby allowing the image sensor to determine the color of the light being received by the photosensitive pixels 218. The color filters 336 may vary, such as being a red, green, and blue filter as used in a Bayer pattern. Other combinations, such as cyan, yellow, and magenta, may also be used. The number of different colors of the color filters 336 may also vary. The color filters 336 may comprise a polymeric material or resin, such as polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), polyglycidyl-methacrylate (PGMA), or the like, that includes colored pigments. In some embodiments, reflective guide layers (not shown) are formed along sidewalls of the color filters 336. The reflective guide layers are formed of a metal or other high refractive index material that is capable of reflecting light, such as copper, aluminum, tantalum nitride, titanium nitride, tungsten, silicon nitride, the like, or a combination thereof.

Further in FIG. 16, a dam structure 338 is formed over the backside surface of the substrate 202 of the wafer 200 and surrounding the color filters 336. In some embodiments, the dam structure 338 has an annular structure in a plan view. In some embodiments, the annular structure may be a ring, a square-shaped annular structure, or the like. The dam structure 338 may comprise epoxy, silicone, the like, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the dam structure 338 disposed is within the die region 200A of the wafer 200. Subsequently, a cover 340 is attached to the dam structure 338. The cover 340 may comprise a transparent material, such as glass, or the like. In some embodiments, the cover 340 is attached to the dam structure 338 using an adhesive (not shown).

In FIG. 17, the stacked wafer-level structure of FIG. 16 is debonded from the carrier substrate 332 (see FIG. 16) and is placed on a dicing tape 342. Subsequently, a singulation process 344 is performed by sawing along scribe line regions, e.g., between adjacent die regions of the stacked wafer-level structure. The sawing singulates the die regions from the stacked wafer-level structure and forms a plurality of packages 1000. Each of the packages 1000 comprises the die region 100A of the wafer 100, the die region 200A of the wafer 200, and the die region 3000A of the wafer-level packaged structure 3000.

In FIG. 18, the package 1000 is mounted to a package substrate 400 using the conductive connectors 330. In some embodiments, the package substrate 400 includes a substrate core 402 and bond pads 404 over the substrate core 402. The substrate core 402 may be made of a semiconductor material such as silicon, germanium, diamond, or the like. Alternatively, compound materials such as silicon germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenic, indium arsenide, indium phosphide, silicon germanium carbide, gallium arsenic phosphide, gallium indium phosphide, combinations of these, and the like, may also be used. Additionally, the substrate core 402 may be a SOI substrate. Generally, an SOI substrate includes a layer of a semiconductor material such as epitaxial silicon, germanium, silicon germanium, SOI, SGOI, or combinations thereof. The substrate core 402 is, in one alternative embodiment, based on an insulating core such as a fiberglass reinforced resin core. One example core material is fiberglass resin such as FR4. Alternatives for the core material include bismaleimide-triazine (BT) resin, or alternatively, other printed circuit board (PCB) materials or films. Build up films such as ABF or other laminates may be used for the substrate core 402.

The substrate core 402 may include active and passive devices (not shown). A wide variety of devices such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, combinations of these, and the like may be used to generate the structural and functional requirements of the design for the resulting device. The devices may be formed using any suitable methods.

The substrate core 402 may also include metallization layers and vias (not shown), with the bond pads 404 being physically and/or electrically coupled to the metallization layers and vias. The metallization layers may be formed over the active and passive devices and are designed to connect the various devices to form functional circuitry. The metallization layers may be formed of alternating layers of dielectric (e.g., low-k dielectric material) and conductive material (e.g., copper) with vias interconnecting the layers of conductive material and may be formed through any suitable process (such as deposition, damascene, dual damascene, or the like). In some embodiments, the substrate core 402 is substantially free of active and passive devices.

In some embodiments, the conductive connectors 330 are reflowed to attach the package 1000 to the bond pads 404. The conductive connectors 330 electrically and/or physically couple the package substrate 400, including metallization layers in the substrate core 402, to the package 1000. In some embodiments, a solder resist 406 is formed on the substrate core 402. The conductive connectors 330 may be disposed in openings in the solder resist 406 to be electrically and mechanically coupled to the bond pads 404. The solder resist 406 may be used to protect areas of the substrate core 402 from external damage.

In some embodiments, an underfill 408 may be formed between the package 1000 and the package substrate 400 and surrounding the conductive connectors 330. The underfill 408 may be formed by a capillary flow process after the package 1000 is attached to the package substrate 400 or may be formed by a suitable deposition method before the package 1000 is attached to the package substrate 400.

In some embodiments, passive devices (e.g., surface mount devices (SMDs), not shown) may also be attached to the package 1000 (e.g., to the UBMs 328) or to the package substrate 400 (e.g., to the bond pads 404). For example, the passive devices may be bonded to a same surface of the package 1000 or the package substrate 400 as the conductive connectors 330. The passive devices may be attached to the package 1000 prior to mounting the package 1000 on the package substrate 400, or may be attached to the package substrate 400 prior to or after mounting the package 1000 on the package substrate 400.
